Thanks, I wasn't aware RTK now has a saga-like "listener" feature - will look into it! What I like about sagas are their simplicity & power (once one understands how generators & effects work), plus the eventChannel feature which lets one integrate with non-redux events. Good TypeScript support is a problem though, and I've had to resort to typed-redux-saga :/

Yeah, we specifically designed the listener middleware to do ~90% of what you could do in sagas, but with a smaller bundle size, simpler API, and better TS support: - https://redux-toolkit.js.org/api/createListenerMiddleware https://redux-toolkit.js.org/api/createListenerMiddleware - https://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/2022/03/designing-rtk-listener-middleware/ https://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/2022/03/designing-rtk-list... Event channels was something we intentionally _didn't_ try to replicate per se, and tbh I've never tried to use those myself. (But, I _suspect_ that you might be able to do something similar with listeners even though we don't have a specific replacement built into the listener middleware, and if you do I'd love to see an example in action!) If you get a chance to try out listeners in your project, I'd definitely appreciate feedback on how well they work out for you - whether they solve your current saga use cases, what cases they _don't_ handle, anything we can do to improve the listener API, etc.
